A beautiful new translation of beloved Chinese author Lao She's
masterpiece of social realism, about the misadventures of a poor
Beijing rickshaw driver
First published in China in 1937, "Rickshaw Boy" is the story of
Xiangzi, an honest and serious country boy who works as a rickshaw
puller in Beijing. A man of simple needs whose greatest ambition is
to one day own his own rickshaw, Xiangzi is nonetheless thwarted,
time and again, in his attempts to improve his lot in life.
One of the most important and popular works of
twentieth-century Chinese literature, "Rickshaw Boy" is an
unflinchingly honest, darkly comic look at a life on the margins of
society and a searing indictment of the philosophy of
individualism.
